Weatherized High-Top Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Technical Shoes are Water-Repellent and Insulated

— October 15, 2015 — Fashion
Vans recently teamed up with outdoor brand The North Face to design a pair of technical shoes that can stand up to the elements. Although sneakers are a popular form of footwear, they are not designed to be worn in harsh climates. The latest collection from Vans features a more durable sneaker design.

The 'Vault by Vans x The North Face' collection combines classic sneaker designs with weatherized features and advanced technology. The new collection includes seven different styles, each of which is designed to be worn in harsh environments. The technical shoes boast a variety of advanced features such as water-repellent leather, an insulated lining and a tacky rubber grip. The shoes are designed to stand up to nearly any conditions, including snow and ice.

The technical shoes are the perfect option for those who hate to swap their sneakers for winter boots.
Trend Themes
1. Weatherized Technical Footwear - The trend focuses on designing footwear that is specifically equipped to withstand harsh weather conditions.

Industry Implications

2. Fashion Industry - The fashion industry can take advantage of the trend to create a niche product line of durable and resistant footwear for outdoor activities.
3. Outdoor Industry - The outdoor industry can benefit from the trend with its focus on advanced technology and durability to create footwear that caters to adventurous travelers and hikers.
